When it becomes necessary to get a tree removed from your land? This is something that we all can have a debate on. But, what we at ‘Houston Tree Team’ generalize is that, when a dead or decaying tree is posing as a health hazard in your property or it is reducing the considerate value of your property, it becomes necessary for you to take the matter into your hands and decide on the removal of the said tree. We totally agree to the fact that a tree takes an ample amount of time to grow and flourish, but the same tree once dead becomes a burden in your yard. It harvests different kinds of pests as well as release a foul scent in the air. There are many factors which determine the reasons for a tree removal which include:-

• Foundation/driveway/utilities lines of the house interrupted/hampered by the roots of the tree.
• Blocks out the light coming in to your property/house or inhibits natural growth in your lawn or yard.
• Unsafe proximity to adjacent buildings, play structures or public lines.
• High maintenance trees that drop seeds, leaves and branches.
• Unavoidable storm damages.

Tree trimming or pruning enhances and restores the beauty of the trees in your yard or lawn and is a necessary component of proper landscape maintenance.

Regular pruning/trimming also helps to protect the risk of falling branches or limbs, and other potential hazards which can be reduced like deadwood, insect infestation, crossover branches, decay and unwanted growth. There are many reasons why trimming or pruning becomes necessary for a tree.

It’s an ‘Art’ and with our expertise and experience, we can give your trees the best possible start. There is a proverb in English that says, ‘a stitch in time saves nine’. This statement becomes absolutely true in terms of tree services and landscaping because if proper care is taken while planting a tree and during its growth till it matures, the trees will definitely have a long healthy life.

Landscaping can be defined as- “the process of making a garden or other piece of land more attractive by altering the existing design, adding ornate features and planting trees, shrubs or other flower plants for an artistically designed layout”.

It means that when a piece of land is decorated with brilliant ideas in flora & fauna and intricate details which substantially enhance the look and feel of the same plot can be called landscaping. It will include various methods to change/alter, build or break and finally achieve the desired view of the area which should be breathtaking. Based on the requirements of the clients and the artistic views of our landscaping team, there are alterations which are made to trees and other plants which can involve relocation and removal. Landscaping generally include newer pathways/driveways that might need to be made, newer constructions or changes to existing ones, changes in the grass, plants, trees and other items usually available like railings, dustbins, shades, fountain, drinking water installation, lighting, seating arrangements, ornamental installations etc. These are the factors which are to be kept in mind while starting a landscaping project.

We believe that if a tree is grown and handled correctly will need few limb removals when it grows old. Whether it is about pruning or trimming of your tree as well as removal of a rotten limb, ‘Houston Tree Team’ has the expertise, proper equipments and most importantly, skilled workmen who are well trained for the purpose. Cutting big branches of trees might look easy and fun to do but trust me, they are quite risky for both the tree and the person doing it. If not done properly, removing parts of a tree might critically harm the tree. Trimming trees or limb removal might create pruning wounds that take time to close. Extensive pruning also stunts the trees growth. Other than that, there is a life threatening risk for the person doing the removal of limb if not done correct while maintaining proper safety. There are many factors which determine the best way, technique, time and efficiency for removing dead or rotten branches of a tree. The ideal time of year to prune trees is the late winters and on the onset of spring.

Tree sealants have the amazing capability of preventing a tree from varied diseases which generally are induced by substances from ground. Diseases like rotting stem/roots, insect infections, underground decay and many more. It purely gives a healing effect to the trees and plants.

Pruning is an important part of the landscaping process without which your trees and plants will definitely not have best health. Top it all, the entire landscape will look shabby and unkempt. It will be a total disaster to look at. According to ‘Houston Tree Team’, your trees are the most valuable assets on your property because they make the view of your landscape worthwhile and also provide shade to your land. But the main reason we think so is because they take a long time to grow. Hence, providing proper care and maintenance is very important. It has been witnessed that pruning often result in the stimulation of the stem and vigorous sprout growth. What it basically does is it adds to the natural defense of the plants and enhances rapid growth.

It has been noted that cleaning of gutters is a very easy job to be put off from the to-do list of homeowners across the world. Truth is, ‘the longer one waits, the worse it gets’. The purpose of a gutter is to keep unwanted water away from your home. It keeps moisture from seeping into the foundation, basement and even walls. A house with clean and free flowing gutters ensures that there are no expensive repair bills at a later date. We all know that flowing waters is one of the earth’s most powerful forces. Cleaning of gutters and yard drains on a regular basis is necessary to get rid of any unwanted buildup of organic residue that can lead to clogs. These kind of clogs in the gutters and drains releases gases in the atmosphere which emit a very pungent odor which is both unhealthy as well as a biohazard. Any premises should have clean gutters and drains to keep the environment odorless and healthy. Gutter or drain cleaning services require special tools ranging from simple hand jobs to hydraulic jetters depending on the site and nature like a simple residential clog to heavy duty departmental pipelines.

What are ‘Sod Pallets’? Sod can be explained as, a section of cut or torn surface of grassland, containing the matted roots of grass. It is basically grass and the part of soil that is held together by the roots of the grass or any other bio-degradable material. So, a sod pallet will be a standard piece of grass covered terrain held together by roots of the grass which is used for covering of vacant/barren land. Sod is typically used for lawns, golf courses and sports stadiums around the world. In terms of residential usage, it is being used by many homeowners, builders and landscapers who want to make a grass covered lawn without any wastage of time. Houses with grass growing around it definitely have a lower atmospheric temperature, improved air & water quality and better cooling around it. The main reason why landscaping companies use sod pallets is because they are easy to acquire and is a rapid way of establishing a proper grass covered lawn which is a visual treat to look at. Sod pallets are very easy to work with as well because they are already germinated and all that needs to be done is arrange them like a giant jigsaw puzzle. Without a doubt, use of sod pallets adds tremendously towards the value of any property which is the dream of each and every homeowner.

Tree topping is the process of removing the whole tops of trees or large branches and trunks from trees leaving lateral branches that are too small to assume the role of terminal leader. Other common names for the same practice include hat racking, heading, rounding over and tipping. Some species of trees are more likely to recover from the effects of topping than others which might need extra care later. It is a scientific process that requires proper knowledge and techniques for care. Hundreds of trees are topped every year in Houston which causes significant stress and handles future safety issues. It has been proven that and average person’s knowledge is limited on tree care. There are some misconceptions related to this procedure as well. The most common one is, people think that a topped tree will have better sunlight penetration for proper growth. However the fact is, removal of large portions of a trees canopy might have detrimental effects as the newly formed bark is quite susceptible to sun scalding. Prolonged exposure can severely damage the bark thus creating an infestation zone for decay causing organisms. Also the sudden loss of leaves substantially reduces the trees ability to photo-synthesize and produce food for its growth. If a large tree is unable to produce enough sugars to feed the roots/stem, the tree will slowly die of starvation.

Tree cabling/bracing is a process in which high tensile cables and bracing rods are used by ‘Arborists’ to protect and improve the structural integrity of trees. It helps the trees to stay uprooted even while a big storm comes in its way. In some cases, the growth of a tree becomes a hindrance as its physical structure can no longer support its own weight. ‘Houston Tree Team’ saves trees with technically advanced cabling and bracing systems that supports individual limbs or branches to preserve the entire tree and minimize potential hazards to your property. We apply dynamic, static or brace cablings depending on the precise condition of the trees in your yard. The most common support method include the installation of threaded steel rod braces or a flexible high tensile strength cables to reduce stress damages on the trees caused by heavy foliage, snow, or high winds.
